Hi,
I have a MPC8309 based SBC which runs a linux application for about 20 minutes and then crashes with seg fault. The most predominant message appearing on prompt is "vmap allocation for size 8192 failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size" . I have searched all over that recommend increase in size of vmap, but conceptually I do not understand why system crashes exactly after 20 min. If there were problem in vmap allocation, the application should not have run in the first place?
What could be the problem?
Following is the complete list of error messages
vmap allocation for size 8192 failed: use vmalloc=<size> to increase size.
